The least force to depress switch, that is common, is a brown cherry iirc.

It does sound familiar but by the same token...

I'm not sure I'd use it simply because I'm not sure I trust him to maintain it yet and PHP really needs a complete rebuild for PHP 6, which is not where he is going.

The Model M's have significantly stiffer switches (iirc they have the buckling spring design which requires ~25% more force) than any Cherry MX I've ever used. But to each their own. ;) I can type on mine for hours and not notice any strain.

Just a suggestion, but maybe just lock the thread instead of responding to the troll? I mean feeding trolls is kinda pointless. :/
I could but we don't do that around here because we are nice and because we can take it. Because this is what we do. ;)
I suppose. I guess trolls are just predictable and boring to me. :P

While my fingers love the physical feedback, they don't love how tiring they are.
Tiring? Really? Maybe you should get one with a lower force requirement to trigger the key strokes. I find mine no more tiring than one with a red dome (it has Blue Cherry MX switches)

Yayaya. At least someone does :P

More than just laptop keyboards. Its a class of keyboard that is generally uncommon due to price but I find the extra $40 or so I'd need to spend worth it.

May I suggest not using the pirate flag if you don't support piracy?  :whistle:

I tease. That sucks and I hope you get your money back!

Eros: You can also edit SMF 1.1.x like that as well... if you keep to yourself.
Oh I know. However, I'm running a RC of 2 so the upgrade is less painful in that direction. ;)

That and I'm thinking of distributing.

I for one, think what you're doing here has been almost asking to be done for years, but because of SMFs license nobody has done it....like your ideas and I agree on your philosophy. Maybe some day I can proudly wave the Wedge flag on my website?

So this is me saying, keep up the good work. I'm sure people appreciate it very much.

:)
+1 :P

I'm running SMF and going to convert over to 2.0 simply because I'm debating about editing it to the point upgrading via SMF would no longer be viable. However, it sounds like you guys intend to switch over to hooks for everything...which might make wedge a viable alternative for me. ;)

Features / Re: request for reliable backup and restore function
« on June 14th, 2011, 03:40 AM »
Honestly, a guide on how to use mysqldump, cPanel, et al. to do backups and restores would be more useful to people. However, that really isn't Wedge's responsibility to provide. Any php-based backup 'solution' like the one in SMF is only viable until your forum hits 100k posts. Imo.

We discussed it with them actually. Invited them and all. They're busy with other non smf ventures.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you had not asked them. I just meant if they suddenly wanted to fork SMF, I suspect they'd be able to do so without too much trouble is all that I meant. They have enough stature to manage it without people going 'Eh, juts some moron I am not going to trust with my site'.

It's possible, but somewhat unlikely, I think.
I suspect this is the truth. I only went with SMF because of the simple fact I was used to administrating it and SSI.php made bridging it easy for the lazy (e.g. me). I doubt there will be another serious fork on the scale of Wedge in regards to SMF unless Jeff Lewis or Unknown starts one.
